In the past, any movie put out by Hollywood has been...lacking?...in accuracy about ancient Egypt. They have been great entertainment, pushing the buttons of everyone with huge battle-scenes, epic love stories and amazing detail--usually all wrong.
As you say, it may be a good thing in that it will pump lots of money into Egypt's resources--that's for the good. Interesting people in ancient Egypt? That would be good, too. But as an historically correct drama concerning Egypt, I doubt very much Hollywood will follow a narrow line of accuracy.

A prime example of liberties taken by Hollywood is the epic "Troy". They took a story that had be around for 2000 years and radically atered it, to fit there conception of a "wonderful, entertaining movie", that, in my humble opinion, really smelled! A 10 year war was cut to a couple of days, Paris and Helen ran off together and, presumably, lived happily ever after, Agememmon was killed in Troy, etc. etc.
Wholesale alterations of historical known facts seems to be Hollywood's metre.

Link doesn't work. I suspect though, that it has the potential to be as bad as that upcoming Tut movie is probably gonna be. It should be a painful, though enjoyable experience._________________*Tadukhipa*

The good thing about Troy though, is that it was so horribly inaccurate that no one would be able to watch it and then think that they've learned anything about the Trojan war. Some movies/novels will have the odd half truth, so many members of the ignorant masses go out and watch/read it and then suddenly believe themselves to be an "expert" on the subject.
After Meneleaus (ok, I have no clue how to spell that...) died, any form of accuracy was so hopeless that I could just sit back, forget about correcting it, and appreciate all the hot actors. _________________*Tadukhipa*
